Margot Harringtons memoir about her discovery in Florence of a priceless masterwork of Renaissance erotica - and the misguided love aff air it inspired - is now 25 years later being made into a film. Margot with the help of her lover Woody writes a script that she thinks will validate her life. Of course their script is not used but never mind - happy endings are the best endings for films as Margot eventually comes to see. At the former convent in Florence where The Sixteen Pleasures - now called The Italian Lover - is being filmed Margot enters into a drama she never imagined where her ideas of home love art and aging collide with the imperatives of commerce and the unknowability of other cultures and other people.
